Inside the Athletes Studio: An Interview with Matt Iseman, Host of Sports Soup

I teased you about this when it first went down, then I revealed the subject in my review of the show's first week, but now you get the actual interview.

I was able to sit down with Matt Iseman, host of Versus' Sports Soup, the Friday before the show debuted. Versus finally got this cut and uploaded, so pretend some of the questions aren't dated. We now know the focus and general outline of how the show is set up, but not so much at the time of our questioning.

Oh, and I'm wearing the same gray shirt today. I'm freakin' dynamic!

Enjoy our candid sitdown with Matt Iseman, host of Sports Soup.

Hey Baby, You Wanna Play Some Bunco?

sage steele hosted sportscenter last night. stuart scott was hitting on her so hard. and she was playing up to his lazy eye. heres my own transliteration on the conversation between hottie sage and stu the eye during the 11 pm sportscenters top ten plays:

stu: "number 8...sage told me i had to do the evens so i
could get this highlight. its the bunco championships!"

sage: "one of your eyes is looking at me."

stu: "girl, whats it gonna take for you to dress up in one
of those dresses?" (side note: stu was talking about the suburban white women who
were playing bunco in the highlight, and they all seemed to be wearing the same,
dress barn-style soccer mom-ish flowery dress)

sage: "yeah, and maybe i'll put my hair up in curlers,
too!"

stu: "boo-ya baby, thatd be da bomb. i would raise the roof
*does played-out mid-to-late-90s "raise the roof" gesture with hands* if you
would do that. and the Lord said, youve got to rise UP!"

sage: "huh? (still creeped out by the eye)"

stu: "...cool as the other side of the pillow..."

thats pretty much how it went down. i gotta say, if i was hosting sportscenter last night, i would probably hit on sage as well, without the whole "raise the roof" deal.

sage was just recently hired by espn, after leaving comcast sportsnet. she was an original anchor of the show.
